Once upon a time

"Once upon a time" is a stock phrase used to introduce a narrative of past events, typically in fairy tales and folk tales. It has been used in some form since at least 1380 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary) in storytelling in the English language and has opened many oral narratives since 1600. These stories often then end with "and they all lived happily ever after", or, originally, "happily until their deaths".

Atlanta (band)

Atlanta was an American country music group formed in 1982 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. It was composed of Brad Griffis (vocals), Bill Davidson (vocals, guitar), Tony Ingram (vocals, fiddle), Alan David (lead guitar), Allen Collay (keyboards), Bill Packard (keyboards), Jeff Baker (harmonica), Dick Stevens (bass guitar) and John Holder (drums). Between 1983 and 1988, Atlanta recorded two albums for MCA Records and charted nine hit singles on the Billboard country charts. Its chart history included two Top Ten country hits in "Atlanta Burned Again Last Night" and "Sweet Country Music." The latter was also the band's highest charting single, peaking at number 5.

Long Ago

Can we get back to the basics?Back where we came from?When we didn't have no worriesWe were basking in the sunSometimes the least of my problems feel like the biggest onesWhen you said that you were leaving, felt like we had just begunIt would be so easyOh, if it was that easyI can't sleep tonightSo tell me one more timeWhen I dream, it will be you that's on my mindIt's my heart you hold, so never let it goI still love you like I loved you long agoSaw you out on the freeway, and later at the showIt could be my imagination, but I know I'm not aloneAll the lights in the city are burning out with timeBut there's a light that hangs above, and it's keeping us in lineAll this time that's running by won't stop until we stand still'Cause we are incomplete until we finally breatheLet's take a look at the futureSee where we left offI'm so grateful that I found you
